Welcome
from Esther Cook, Director
Dear Colleagues,
As we reflect on the first 6 months of the Thames Gateway TSH we have so much to celebrate!
Hundreds of colleagues have signed up to embark on new opportunities with us, as together we navigate the new landscape for professional development being embedded by the DfE. These new opportunities to support teachers and leaders at every level have only been made possible by the incredible work of our facilitators, mentors and coaches. Thank you to all those who have stepped up to share their own experiences and expertise with others across the wider system. Thank you too to all those who are supporting learning day to day in school. It is this constant embedding of learning which makes the process so effective. We are looking forward to providing further opportunities for these colleagues to reflect and gain additional tools to support your work over the coming months.
Our highly anticipated Regional Conferences for ECTs and their mentors take place over the coming weeks. We are so pleased to be able to resume face to face delivery and to meet in person after much of our delivery has been online. We are also pleased to be welcoming over 300 colleagues joining us for the Spring cohorts of our NPQ programmes. In total over 600 colleagues are taking a fully funded NPQ course with us this academic year.
These next 6 months provide us with opportunity to continue to refine our offer and the responses to our recent survey have enabled us to respond to specific feedback. We are so grateful for the opportunity to hear from colleagues across our networks, please do stay in touch!
Very best wishes,
Esther Cook - Hub Director, Thames Gateway TSH

Feedback
Thank you so much to the 181 colleagues who took the time to complete our first feedback survey. It was so useful to hear your reflections and we were extremely grateful for the ideas this generated. We have spent time responding to the areas raised and have implemented a number activities including further briefings and training sessions over the coming months.
As well as the next steps we were delighted to hear some extremely positive feedback, thank you to all who passed on such encouraging messages!

We appreciate all of your support, thank you!
I think that the TGTSH team has done an amazing job in rolling out and supporting so many new Government initiatives in such a short length of time, often with very little preparation period. Thank you!
Views are constantly sought to ensure that the TGTSH are meeting the needs of schools in the partnership.
Appropriate Body
Progress Review 2 is now open and ready for completion by Induction Tutors on ECT Manager. This review is due on 18.03.22. Thank you to all colleagues who joined us for the ‘Progress Review Updated Guidance’ training on 01.03.33. A recording of this training can be found here.
Additionally the guidance document for completing these reviews has also been updated to reflect the moderation process and in response to colleagues asking for further examples of good practice. Please find 4 examples of Progress Review commentaries in this updated document.
A reminder that all ECT’s must be registered with an Appropriate Body as soon as they start Induction in your schools. Please contact us to discuss any new ECT’s you have joining you.
